Adoption: Investigation and Reflection

This book is an interesting story of a young woman's search for her birth parents, part handbook, part whodunit, part cliffhanger, but at all times comfortable and reassuring to all involved.The author has a good relationship with her adoptive family, a great husband and three children of her own, but after 30 years, is still interested to know where she comes from, what her parents look like, even what nationality she is... she embarks very slowly on the long process to determine the truth.There are missteps, dead ends and even the occasional minor success. There are fits and stops along the way. But through a combination of dogged perserverance and dumb luck, she is able to discover things about herself that she could not have known any other way.This book is recommended for people interested in searching for a birth parent, it's recommended for potential adoptive parents, and it serves as a gentle reminder to the rest of us of the sometimes difficult circumstances surrounding adoption, and the positive effect it can have for all involved.Plus it's an entertaining, exciting read! You won't be able to put it down.
